What evidence is presented in the article? Only vibes and feelings.

    Maybe re-read the article? For an NPR piece, it's loaded with specific attributions and named names, of people pushing "Chinese influence operation" theories.

    Or do you mean evidence of widespread (& effective) Chinese influence operations? The article's thesis is that those pretty much don't exist. Notice the quote attributed to Ben Nimmo at OpenAI.

      Apologies, my error was in having English as not my first language. I should have said that the only evidence of the proponents of the theory is vibes and feelings.

    Coincidentally, that's often the same evidence cited by the haters.

    Somebody must have intentionally spread all that bullshit about wildly-excessive water usage, for instance. It didn't go viral organically, or because it was true.
